Barrett Hill Touch Toggles

Does anyone have any experience with these? They look awesome, and I've been thinking about using them on a few modules. The only problem is that I would need to have a toggle on each side of the module for each turnout. In other words, I each turnout would have two controls. Would this be possible?

Thanks!

Yep.

They usually have a booth at the Timonium show and I know a number of people around here have used them and like them quite a bit.

Personally, I like tactile feedback, but I do think they're a neat innovative thing.

I love’em, for certain applications, and like the modular, simple, plug-in boards and wiring. They look very cool, too.

The thing that really appeals to me is that they are low/no clearance, which means they won't get damaged transporting a module. Does anyone have any information on connecting two of them to operate a single turnout?

Thanks!

From their website - you can use a multi-input adapter to have up to 3 separate toggles running the same controller.
